Universal Basic Income vs Welfare
Lazy people want something for nothing and they can even come up with rationalizations for why they should get something for nothing as the guy in this video demonstrates.

Redefining Family
This guy comes close to asserting that THE FAMILY is the root of all evil. It's not money (Pink Floyd) or religion (John Lennon), but the family. The republican party has pushed family values for decades now, but this guy seems to think that the influence of the family on society is actually bad. I'm not so sure I agree, but it is an interesting way of looking at things.

This might explain why we have filthy rich in CA and it's not because of the mean old white conservatives

Welcome to California. 4 families have run CA for 80 yrs.
Sparky of SoCal: That's one heck of an interesting video and if it's true, then it's alarming! I'm surprised the video hasn't been taken down by YouTube since they are closely tied into the power structure of CA.

Bernie Sanders is Confused About Why This is Happening
I can see how UPS drivers are worth about $50K a year, but $170K? That's just insane!!!! :smack:

Flurry of minimum wage hikes could bring unintended consequences, economists warn
It would be more beneficial to our economy if the minimum wage were decreased. Every time the minimum wage goes up, so does cost of goods and services. That's called inflation!
